A new item is coming to Pokemon Go.

Players have discovered a "Star Piece" item hidden inside of Pokemon Go's upcoming update. When used by a player, Star Pieces double the amount of Stardust a player earns for catching or hatching Pokemon and feeding Pokemon berries.

Star Pieces appear to be premium items for Pokemon Go and will be available for purchase in the store in sets of one, eight, and twenty-five pieces. No prices are set yet, but we're guessing they'll be priced similar to Lucky Eggs.

Here's a first look at what "Star Pieces" look like in the game:

In the main series games, Star Pieces are items that can be sold for some extra cash, but don't have any other real purpose.

Of course, Stardust is incredibly valuable in Pokemon Go as it allows players to "power up" their Pokemon. Stardust is a bit of a rare resource, since players consume a ton of it to power up one Pokemon to its maximum level, so Star Pieces could be a huge game-changer in helping level the field for players that can't farm constantly for Stardust.

Chances are, Star Pieces will go live when "Gen 3" Pokemon pop up later this week. We'll have more on some of the other big changes coming to Pokemon Go soon, so stay tuned.
